Recent Apache Openoffice Security Vulnerabilities

Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments

CVE-2023-47804 8.8 - High - December 29, 2023

Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution. This is a corner case of CVE-2022-47502.

Argument Injection

Apache OpenOffice versions before 4.1.14 may be configured to add an empty entry to the Java class path

CVE-2022-38745 7.8 - High - March 24, 2023

Apache OpenOffice versions before 4.1.14 may be configured to add an empty entry to the Java class path. This may lead to run arbitrary Java code from the current directory.

Code Injection

Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments

CVE-2022-47502 7.8 - High - March 24, 2023

Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution.

Improper Input Validation

Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database

CVE-2022-37400 8.8 - High - August 15, 2022

Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in OpenOffice existed where the required initialization vector for encryption was always the same which weakens the security of the encryption making them vulnerable if an attacker has access to the user's configuration data. This issue affects: Apache OpenOffice versions prior to 4.1.13. Reference: CVE-2022-26306 - LibreOffice

Use of Insufficiently Random Values

Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database

CVE-2022-37401 8.8 - High - August 15, 2022

Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in OpenOffice existed where master key was poorly encoded resulting in weakening its entropy from 128 to 43 bits making the stored passwords vulnerable to a brute force attack if an attacker has access to the users stored config. This issue affects: Apache OpenOffice versions prior to 4.1.13. Reference: CVE-2022-26307 - LibreOffice

Insufficient Entropy

It is possible for an attacker to manipulate documents to appear to be signed by a trusted source

CVE-2021-41832 7.5 - High - October 11, 2021

It is possible for an attacker to manipulate documents to appear to be signed by a trusted source. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are affected. Users are advised to update to version 4.1.11. See CVE-2021-25635 for the LibreOffice advisory.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

It is possible for an attacker to manipulate the timestamp of signed documents

CVE-2021-41831 5.3 - Medium - October 11, 2021

It is possible for an attacker to manipulate the timestamp of signed documents. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are affected. Users are advised to update to version 4.1.11. See CVE-2021-25634 for the LibreOffice advisory.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

It is possible for an attacker to manipulate signed documents and macros to appear to come from a trusted source

CVE-2021-41830 7.5 - High - October 11, 2021

It is possible for an attacker to manipulate signed documents and macros to appear to come from a trusted source. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are affected. Users are advised to update to version 4.1.11. See CVE-2021-25633 for the LibreOffice advisory.

Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

While working on Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 a developer discovered

CVE-2021-28129 7.8 - High - October 07, 2021

While working on Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 a developer discovered that the DEB package did not install using root, but instead used a userid and groupid of 500. This both caused issues with desktop integration and could allow a crafted attack on files owned by that user or group if they exist. Users who installed the Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 DEB packaging should upgrade to the latest version of Apache OpenOffice.

Apache OpenOffice has a dependency on expat software

CVE-2021-40439 6.5 - Medium - October 07, 2021

Apache OpenOffice has a dependency on expat software. Versions prior to 2.1.0 were subject to CVE-2013-0340 a "Billion Laughs" entity expansion denial of service attack and exploit via crafted XML files. ODF files consist of a set of XML files. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are subject to this issue. expat in version 4.1.11 is patched.

XXE

Apache OpenOffice opens dBase/DBF documents and shows the contents as spreadsheets

CVE-2021-33035 7.8 - High - September 23, 2021

Apache OpenOffice opens dBase/DBF documents and shows the contents as spreadsheets. DBF are database files with data organized in fields. When reading DBF data the size of certain fields is not checked: the data is just copied into local variables. A carefully crafted document could overflow the allocated space, leading to the execution of arbitrary code by altering the contents of the program stack. This issue affects Apache OpenOffice up to and including version 4.1.10

Classic Buffer Overflow

The project received a report that all versions of Apache OpenOffice through 4.1.8 can open non-http(s) hyperlinks

CVE-2021-30245 8.8 - High - April 15, 2021

The project received a report that all versions of Apache OpenOffice through 4.1.8 can open non-http(s) hyperlinks. The problem has existed since about 2006 and the issue is also in 4.1.9. If the link is specifically crafted this could lead to untrusted code execution. It is always best practice to be careful opening documents from unknown and unverified sources. The mitigation in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.10 (unreleased) assures that a security warning is displayed giving the user the option of continuing to open the hyperlink.

Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere

A vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice scripting events

CVE-2020-13958 7.8 - High - November 17, 2020

A vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice scripting events allows an attacker to construct documents containing hyperlinks pointing to an executable on the target users file system. These hyperlinks can be triggered unconditionally. In fixed versions no internal protocol may be called from the document event handler and other hyperlinks require a control-click.
